New to Short Story Outlines Romance? Listen to this lecture to determine if you're right for this course.
Welcome back to our Short Story Outlines - book 1 students!
As we did in the first course in the Short Story Outlines - Romance series, this lecture provides writer's the opportunity to reconnect with other students and to introduce themselves to new students.
Everyone will benefit from introducing themselves and sharing their experiences as you make your way through the course. Writing is solitary, but all the successful authors in the world bounce idea's off other people. Introducing yourself is where that begins.
Been a while since you thought of your short story and what may constitute a scene? Watch this brief lecture to get the highlights and get back on track!
If there's one thing that will make your outlining more difficult than it needs to be, it's not knowing the 4 elements of a scene. Take a couple of minutes to re-introduce yourself to these 4 elements in this video.
Here's a quick introduction to why you need to familiarize yourself with character traits, and why you should re-familiarize yourself if you haven't in a while.
This video will introduce to you the Contagonist character and how that character fits within the Romance storyline. Play close attention to this character introduction. The Contagonist is often confused as the Antagonist, but serves a different interest.
This video will provide a high level overview of the characters we introduced in book 1. If it's been some time since you visited the first course or have worked on your story, you may want to take the three minutes and reintroduce yourself to the characters and who they represent in your story.
This is a one page document to help you keep track on the main characters and their story traits.
Organization is key when creating a new story. The attached worksheets are here to help you keep organized. Alter them, change them to suite you, whatever you need to do to keep organized.
This lecture covers the first phase of scene 2 and provides a starting point.
Important - This is the second course in a three part series. If you have not taken Romance Short Story - Creative Writing Outlining Series 1, do not start here. Go to Romance Short Story - Creative Writing Outlining Series 1.

In The Next 5 Minutes I’ll Shatter The Biggest Lies In Fiction Writing, And Show You How To Use The Same Kind of Outlines Authors Use To Get A Jump Start On Their Stories, And Use Them Over and Over Again!
Since I discovered this secret in August 2013, I’ve shown over 1200 writers how to do the same thing. As this gets out, I’ve shown 400 more writers in the last 4 months. That’s 1600+ writers in only three years!
I know you’re skeptical, and you should be. But these results speak for themselves - I really did teach 1600 students this trick in the last three years.
Not only have I taught 10,000 students in three years - I’ve helped hundred more people in person.
Back in 2007 I was in your exact position. More than anything in the world I wanted become a writer. But I struggled to develop the proper story structure and characters.
I felt stuck and overwhelmed. I doubted I’d ever understand how writers and Hollywood screen writers turned out so many scripts each year. I was on the verge of giving up, and giving in.
I only started seeing results once I realized I’d been tricked by the biggest lie in Hollywood. A lie that kept me from writing a dozen stories each year since then. Once you’ve fallen into it’s trap, it becomes difficult if not impossible to ever understand how it’s done!
After my breakthrough writing short stories was suddenly easy. I stopped struggling with story structure, and I began writing complete stories in weeks not years. I’ve never been happier.
Now I want to help you experience the breakthrough like I did.
If you don’t figure out this well hidden secret, you’ll struggle to become a published author. Even worse, you’ll be in danger of quitting before you even finish one draft!
I’ve seen what happens when people keep struggle and fail to complete a simple draft. It’s ugly, and I don’t want you to suffer that fate.
What happens if you do nothing? You’ll continue on the same learning path as you are today. Not just today, but tomorrow and next month and next year. You may never accomplish your goal of becoming a writer.
Everyone KNOWS it’s just hard work and luck to become a great writer. The problem? Everyone is dead wrong. The hidden truth is that the successful authors and writers KNOW it’s much easier than hard work and luck! Once I’d discovered that secret, I was able to turn out outlines in weeks over ad over and I’ve never looked back.
The biggest names in writing and in particular, Hollywood don’t want you to know how to turn out stories in days. When I finally figured it out I finished a story in 6 days that I had been working on for three months. Now my life is completely different - before I would sit and write all day with very little to show for it, now I use this secret and work for less than an hour each day and accomplish 10x more than before.
You won’t believe this. It’ll make you angry. It’ll piss you off. But the truth is that you don’t have to know much about story structure to do this. The sooner you get comfortable with it the better, because learning this secret is the key to publishing several short stories this year.

I can plug in my characters and have a good idea where they need to go, thus helping me to keep from going off the rails, as it were. Whether for the A Story or B Story within the novel, this can be woven into any number of genres. Now it's time for me to start writing! Thanks for the welcome push in the right direction!”
